Since the S curve is such a basic system evolution trajectory, might it be useful to treat it as an x-axis type, similar to linear and log scales? Is this a thing?
An s-scale would transform an underlying linear range (time for eg) by a sigmoid
s = 1/(1+e^-t)

s would initially increase much slower than t, then about the same, the slower again, so equal s-intervals would map to large/small/large t-intervals over range.

Need a good idea for a dependent variable to plot against this sigmoid scale x axis for an example

You're plotting the deviation from average, basically, which I think is a thing, just with a mathematical model instead of an actual average.

The problem is there are too many S-curves. With log scales it doesn't matter much which logarithm you use, it's just a scale factor. Sigmoids have a bunch of parameters.
